Shoaib’s past will do him no good: Akram

New Delhi, April 04: Former Pakistan cricket captain Wasim Akram has wished Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza a happy married life but he feels the all-rounder’s controversial past involving an alleged first wife Ayesha Siddiqui will do him no good.

“First up, many congratulations to Shoaib Malik, although the juicy news about his previous relationship will do him no good. Whatever the facts are, I would like to wish Sania Mirza and Shoaib a good life together. Marriage is sacred,” Akram wrote in a column for ‘ESPN’.

Shoaib is currently facing the threat of legal action from Ayesha and her family, who claim that the cricketer married her over phone and later dumped her due to her weight problems without taking a formal divorce.

The Siddiqui family has demanded that Shoaib divorce Ayesha before his April 15 wedding with Indian tennis ace Sania.
